Seringa Blanc by Ermano©
With over forty years in the fragrance industry, and creations like L De Lubin, Itasca, Le Vetiver, for Lubin among others, Maitre Parfumeur Lucien Ferrero introduced his own range at Esxence 2019. Of the three new scents presented, it was ultimately Seringa Blanc that piqued my interest, fueled my imagination, and ultimately stole my heart.

“Par Amour pour Elle, Par Amour pour Lui and Seringa Blanc are his way to express meantime strongness and gentleness: these fragrances are hymns to love and renewal, intended as forces that move the universe”.-Lucien Ferrero Parfums website

Although possibly better suited for early Spring when Mother Nature is awakening and unfolding her fragrant cloak for a new year, I discovered my own heart awakening and bursting with joy with Lucien Ferrero Parfums Seringa Blanc in the middle of a daunting Summer season. With medical issues rearing their ugly heads, by early July my fragrance mojo and desire felt irrelevant, tapped out, and stunted. It took just a few wearings of Lucien Ferrero’s Seringa Blanc to snap me out of my funk, lift my head, and climb back up onto my scented steed. Seringa Blanc (commonly referred to as mock orange, not to be confused with Syringa which is a lilac bush) as interpreted by M. Ferrero is a heady, joyous, and slightly narcotic white floral guaranteed to make you smile. This is a scent that is all about pale and creamy blossoms deftly blended into a melange that works so well as a whole that you might struggle picking out specific notes, which is a fine thing indeed. It is all things at once; citrus, floral, and verdantly green. Lemon, neroli, and tangerine floral notes create a warm-weather lusciousness which is beautifully tempered with a slight pink grapefruit pithy, bitterness. Lily-of-the-valley and jasmine add an almost wedding bouquet or Hawaiian lei-like vibe, and cyclamen donates a dustier and furry feeling, that grounds the whole composition into a floral composition that is just flat-out lovely.
Notes: Neroli, Lemon leaves, Pink Grapefruit, Lily of the Valley leaves, Tangerine flower, White Syringa, Lily of the Valley, white Cyclamen, Jasmine abs., Orange abs.

This was the review I was referring to that he sent me from the hospital when I announced he had passed away October 1, 2019, that I was getting ready to publish before his husband Ron emailed me. May his beautiful soul RIP. Scent of Heaven indeed.-Michelyn Camen, Editor in Chief
